KUNSTBANKEN Hedmark Kunstsenter

KUNSTBANKEN Hedmark
Kunstsenter was founded in 1996 by the artists' organisations in
Hedmark and the County Council. The foundation is a continued
development of Hedmark Kunstnersenter, which was established in
1981. The Bank of Norway building, dating from 1901, was placed at
the foundation's disposal by the County Council of Hedmark and in
the summer of 1997, Kunstbanken hosted its first exhibition.

KUNSTBANKEN Hedmark Kunstsenter exhibits visual arts and art crafts
from Norway and abroad. Other areas of activity include
decentralised educational services, travelling exhibitions, public
commissions and information. Kunstbanken also organise extensive
art projects such as workshops and art symposiums.

The foundation is a member of the national network of art centres.
Around 80 professional visual artists who cover a range of
techniques and professions are affiliated with Kunstbanken.
